Big Simple Cow

Falling into a bottomless pit
is no guarantee you'll fall forever
climbing up back out of it
is no guarantee you'll know any better

the abyss gets bigger
like a big simple cow
that eats well

Rolling around in the mud
is no guarantee that the pigs will like you
Giving yourself to God
is no guarantee that the saints will take you



the abyss gets bigger
like a big simple cow
that eats well

Learning your lines and practicing
is no guarantee you'll come in on cue
giving up on everything is no guarantee
everything's through with you

the abyss gets bigger
like a big simple cow
that eats well
